Series Summary

Adobe Photoshop is the industry standard for photo editing today. It is a program that gives users the power to manipulate colors and effects, layer parts of images in stacks, adjust balances and global characteristics with precision, and clean up or completely revision photographs. Photoshop offers unique features and effects, though some argue that it does not replicate natural media as closely as other painting programs. Despite the criticisms, Photoshop is also the standard program for artists outside photography who create images from scratch. The recent rise of digital painting is popular in fantasy and commercial art. Anyone with a computer and determination can learn Photoshop and reproduce the same quality art exhibited in magazines, comics, and web literature... although, as the purists will remind us, it still takes artistic talent.

You will learn how to use the brushes and tools, including the color doge, burn, patch, and clone stamp tools. Julio also gives tips for the liquify filter and other effects unique to Photoshop.
